Welcome to Las Brisas!

Updated June 26, 2021

As a new or prospective owner or tenant, the Las Brisas community welcomes you and hopes that you will discover a wonderful place to call home. Las Brisas residents have established a friendly and healthy community and they value the great quality of life that living here provides. The residents of Las Brisas hope the following information will help you settle into the community and appreciate the quality of life here.

Information Resources

The Las Brisas Communications Committee maintains a number of information resources for Las Brisas owners and residents.

The most important resource is the Las Brisas web site at http://www.lasbrisashypoluxo.com, which has everything you need to know about Las Brisas and its Homeowner's Association (HOA). There you'll find HOA documents and forms, contact information, the resident directory, announcements, committee information, meeting minutes, and more.

Many announcements are only sent via e-mail, so please be sure to provide a valid e-mail address when completing the New Resident Application provided by GRS. If you need to add or change your e-mail address, you can do that if you have joined GRS Homeowner Portal
Here are instructions for setting up your account.

Finally, if you use Facebook, there's a Las Brisas Facebook group, which can be used by residents and owners to share information or ask questions (unlike the web site and mailing list). The group is restricted to current Las Brisas residents and owners, and only group members can see what's posted there. To join the group, go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/lasbrisashypoluxo and click the Join Group link at the top-right corner of the page; if your request to join isn't processed within a day or so, send a note to lbcc@lasbrisashypoluxo.com.

Pool

The Las Brisas pool area, on the Intracoastal Waterway, is one of the best features of the community. The pool water is warmed during the winter months and chilled during the summer months, so it is always enjoyable. A saltwater chlorine generator keeps the water clean without the need for chlorine or harsh chemicals.

The pool area is gated and locked for safety reasons. The previous owner or your landlord should provide you with a key to the pool area. There are two gates, at the mailboxes and at the beach, and both use the same key.

Please observe the pool rules, close opened umbrellas, and pick up after yourself, and be considerate of others when smoking in the pool area. Note that no glass items or pets are allowed in the pool area.

Mailboxes

Mailboxes are located in the cabana at the pool entrance. The previous owner or your landlord should provide you with a key to your unit’s mail box.

The mailbox area also includes a drop-off slot for outgoing mail. Large mail boxes are provided for the secure delivery of oversized items. The mail carrier will lock oversized items in a large mail box and leave the key in your mailbox.
If you need to visit a post office, the nearest one is located at 201 W Ocean Ave in Lantana (just west of the railroad tracks).

There’s also a book exchange located in the closet at the mailboxes.

Important notices and social event announcements are posted on the bulletin boards in the mailbox area. Be sure to check the bulletin boards regularly.

Social Events

Attending Las Brisas social events is a great way to meet your new neighbors!

On the first Friday of every month (weather permitting), we have an informal TGIF party at the pool, starting at 6:00pm. Bring beverages for yourself and food for sharing (we usually around 30 people, more or less). Glass is not allowed in the pool area, so please bring only food and beverages in non-glass containers.

The Las Brisas Social Committee organizes two big social events every year, Spring Fling and Fall Fest. Both events are catered by local restaurants and include music, so just BYOB. All residents are welcome, and there's no charge to attend. You can see pictures from previous Spring Fling and Fall Fest parties here: http://www.lasbrisashypoluxo.com/photos

In addition to these regular events, residents sometimes organize their own community-wide events, so there are plenty of opportunities to socialize and have fun!

Pets

Many residents in Las Brisas own dogs and other common household pets, and appreciate living in a community that welcomes pets.
Cleaning up after your dog is a must! Doggie bag dispensers are located near the front gate and pool. Dogs must be leashed and kept under control at all times, and are not allowed in the pool area.

Trash and Recycling Collection

Trash is picked up every Monday and Thursday. Trash in closed trash barrels may be placed outside the evening before pickup; trash bags cannot be left out overnight. Old appliances and other large bulky items are picked up on Thursdays only.

Recyclable materials are picked up every Thursday. Here's a guide to what you can and cannot recycle from the Solid Waste Authority web site (https://swa.org/149/Recycling):

If you don’t have recycling bins, you can order them (for free) by calling 866-NEW-BINS or online at https://swa.org/196/Recycling-Bin-Forms.

The only holidays when trash and recycling are not picked up are Thanksgiving and Christmas. There are no make-up days; collection resumes on the next regularly-scheduled day.

You can also drop off recycling and hazardous materials (but no trash) at the Lantana Transfer Station; for more information, see https://swa.org/Facilities/Facility/Details/Central-County-Transfer-Station-Lantana-17.

Front Gate and Visitors

Las Brisas is a gated community, with automatic entry and exit gates that are normally closed. Before you move in, you'll submit the appropriate forms to register your vehicle(s) and provide a gate kiosk phone number so that you and your visitors can access the community.

The entry gate can be opened in one of 3 ways:

Using an RFID tag mounted inside the windshield of your vehicle; you'll be given the tag when you register your vehicle. The gate opens automatically when your RFID is detected; the RFID reader is on the right side of the entrance, near the street.
Using the telephone you registered with the gate kiosk. To request access, your visitor touches Press to Call on the touchscreen, then scrolls through the directory and touches your name. When your phone rings, you'll hear “press 1 to accept the call.” After you press 1, you can speak with the visitor and press 9 to open the gate (or hang up if you don’t want to allow access).
Using your 4-digit visitor access code at the gate kiosk. To open the gate, your visitor touches Press to Enter Code on the touchscreen, enters the 4-digit code, then touches Open. The 4-digit access code is also used to open the pedestrian gate, located next to the exit gate.
For security, please do not give out your gate access code to anyone except trusted frequent visitors (relatives, house cleaners, etc.). If you have a contractor or other visitor who only needs access temporarily, you can request a temporary access code from the property manager.

The exit gate opens automatically when you approach it.

If you replace a registered vehicle, you'll need to submit a Vehicle Information Update form, which you can find here: http://www.lasbrisashypoluxo.com/hoadocs. You will need a new RFID tag for the new vehicle.

Parking

In addition to garage and driveway parking, Las Brisas has 24 designated parking spaces for visitors. Cars that are left in the same visitor space for more than 48 hours may receive a warning or may be towed at the owner’s expense. Residents are not allowed to park on the street between 6pm and 6am.

Parking is only allowed in designated spaces. Do not to park on the grass.

Architectural Review Committee and Landscape Committee

If you plan to make changes changes to the outside of your home or in your yard, you'll need to first get approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) and/or Landscape Committee, depending on the changes. Changes inside your home do not require approval, but do need to comply with town, local, or state building codes.

You can find more information and the necessary forms on the ARC and Landscape Review web pages:
